libNexus.a for Mac OsX 10.11 El Capitan

[skansen76]

I was using a fortran software on my Mac that requires the libNexus.a and libNexus77.a libraries.
After upgrading from os X 10.6 to 10.11 it does compile, but when I load the data it crashes when it load the data, suggesting that it might have to do with the fact that I use the old libNexus.a and libNexus77.a libraries which needs then to be recompiled for the 10.11...
With my very poor programming skills I was trying to recompile the libraries, but I miserably failed.
I was wondering if anybody has succeeded with compiling them on osX 10.11.
Thanks,
Valerio

Post the exact error output from the console please. That will help to diagnose.

Hi,
thanks for your help.
Maybe before going the errors, I need to know if I have just to run the run build_mac_kit.sh
or something else must be done like in README.rst (somehow not really straightforward for me).
If I try to run build_mac_kit.sh I get the following output:
bash-3.2$ ./build_mac_kit.sh

make: *** No rule to make target distclean'. Stop. env: ./configure: No such file or directory ciao make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. make: *** No rule to make target install'. Stop.

./build_mac_kit.sh: line 29: pkg.config: No such file or directory

if I put ./ pkg.config instead of . pkg.config
then I get the error:

This is the file build_mac_kit.sh

#!/bin/sh

at the moment hdf4 only support -arch i386 -arch ppc

and nexus tests fail if hdf5 is build with -arch x86_64 -arch ppc64

so leave as just "-arch i386 -arch ppc" for the moment

Sorry for the delay in replying. You suspicion that build_mac_kit.sh isn't the way to go is right. That is out of date (using the old build system) and would generate a dmg for distribution.

I see no reason why you should not be able to follow the Linux instructions, with cmake etc. We should update the README, I guess.

Help Wanted: Could someone with a mac pursue this suggestion (to follow the Linux instructions with cmake, ...) and report back to this issue?

For me, under Mojave building NeXus works like this:

• Download the distribution
• Make sure that you have the dependencies available through home-brew: hdf5 and cmake at least, MXML if you want XML support, HDF4 if you want HDF4
• Create a build directory: mkdir build
• cd into the build directory: cd build
• Run cmake ../ Use the flags as described in the README in order to enable the desired bindings and physical file formats
• When this runs through run: make
• make install will install the libraries and utilities built, make test will run a small self test
